how about that. I don't have too much of the early ephemera but many of my favorite post-KZK tracks are the b-sides
favorite live show that never saw official release is Jihen's 'Domestic Virgin Line' show, posted to this thread more than once and here again

well, looks pretty good to me! i'd gratefully receive any of the live stuff you have (except the branko one, since i'm guessing that's the 99 boot i have), don't have much shiina per se to give in return, but it does look like i have a little more of her demos than you do there, i've got 31 tracks total arranged into a DEMO1 and a DEMO2. if you're interested i *think* i just successfully webmailed you

lol. not an easy album to advertise!
also like how the editor seems to have romanized it "RINNGO" just for symmetry's sake.

had the lowest expectations for this new single, one song being an autotuned jingle written for this summer's coca-cola campaign, the other being a jingle for a cell phone. the ads have been online for a month and they have all the entertainment value of staring at a huge stack of money, but the videos for the new songs are a different story

Thanks Milton, the autotune really blows, I'm digging the other track though, has a kind of OSCA feel about it.
― MaresNest, Wednesday, 5 August 2015 20:27 (eight years ago) link
the autotune one is just hilariously bad. the other one is a bit of a mess, but the good parts are good.
she's recently admitted to not trying with her music so much anymore, so it's little surprise that her output's going in this direction.
― soyrev, Thursday, 6 August 2015 00:34 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, the non-autotune one has moments of lol wut, but actually is a pretty good tune.

I'm glad this thread popped up, because this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard and I always forget who was responsible for it:

Yeah, sorry, I was searching for a video clip on the train so I couldn't actually watch it. Is the YouTube clip the remix? I haven't heard the original so I don't know how different it is.

I don't remember which is original. There's also this earlier (EP?) version:

(I'm still not sold on her singing in English most of the time.)
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 7 August 2015 15:44 (eight years ago) link
An early live version. I don't think I've seen her hop around like this anywhere else. Not sure I like it:

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 18 March 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link
A fair chunk of her back catalogue is up on Spotify now [in the UK at least] under 'Sheena' Ringo, no Jihen as yet.

Was let down a little by the last few albums, so I actually put off listening to her 2014 solo album Hi Izuru Tokoro until tonight.What a mistake! It's actually pretty great, and already a few tracks in feels like her best work in a while.
― Nhex, Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:46 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I really, really made a terrible mistake sleeping on it so long. This album is fantastic, easily some of her best work and production, even if it is mostly re-recordings of non-album tracks, it's super well done and feels fresh.
― Nhex, Saturday, 2 July 2016 05:22 (seven years ago) link
I don't know if it's a great album per se, but it has a bunch of good-to-great songs on it. One reason I didn't say more about it is that I simply am not sure what to say about it. The newer (often Latin tinged) jazz-oriented tracks were very well-crafted.
The some what sui generis (in her catalog) "Irohanihoheto" is still my favorite on this album.
But as an album it's a bit too much of a miscellany.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 2 July 2016 13:46 (seven years ago) link
She wrote some sort of music for the World Cup this year, I think. Has anyone heard that?
At least I thought so. Unless I was reading old news from 2014 and got mixed up.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 2 July 2016 13:47 (seven years ago) link
Still no Shiina/Sheena Ringo on US Spotify. It's okay. I sometimes imagine her being "discovered" in a big way, somewhere down the line. But maybe what she has done best is too far removed from where popular music generally is or is headed. Then again, I know a lot of college aged people who listen a ton to rock from the 60s and 70s. (Not calling SR classic rock, but she's more of a piece with that than with most of what's on US top 40.) Music in foreign languages is still mostly a hard sell in the US.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 2 July 2016 15:10 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, even someone like Shakira barely broke through to the US, I feel like. definitely possible one day people will wake up to her and/or a bunch of journalists will start crowing about her achievements, hopefully during our generation. but even if this doesn't happen, she seems pretty successful both commercially and artistically in her career and I still feel like she's got a lot more to give.But yeah it sucks that she didn't reach Spotify here or even the US iTunes store.

I missed that she performed in Taiwan, not that I would have gone, but interesting development:

there was a song on here that I liked that was on youtube and had like some animated video that was pink or purple and had flowers blowing in the wind? maybe? like over hills? does anyone have any idea what song had a youtube video like this at some point (that has since been removed)?

lol wow that actually has animated flowers on a pink background and like horizontal parallax motion but that is not it! the song was kinda upbeat and peppy and sort of vaguely reminds me of early Bjork or something? also I think she said "la la la la la" a lot
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 14 July 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link
stumped me. right now to find any of her many videos, you pretty much have to search with kanji to find something posted within the last 12 months; sony has really cracked down on uploads of her videos. even on the official vevo, clicking on most of them results in 'not available in your country'.
we never really talked about how wonderful the video is for Irohanihoheto a few years ago though

Maybe was Soil & Pimp's "My Foolish Heart." I forget what the video looked like. Trying to find it.

Not one of her finer jazz slinging moments, in my opinion.
it was def shiina ringo and there were like animated hills and i think a pinkish background?
― laraaji p. henson (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 19 August 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link
I finally figured out what song the beginning of Kodoku no Atkatsuki reminds me, and it's really obvious, though I never knew the title of the song before: Rita Coolidge - Close the Window. (And no, the SR songs is not as good as that one which I've never especially liked but now have to at least grudgingly admire).
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 20 August 2016 18:54 (seven years ago) link
Solo Ringo, 2014. Not sure whether or not it's been linked to before. Polished, but as with many of these performances I'm not sure how interested I'd be without familiarity with the back catalog. Heavy on the torch singer mask.
